Message from the PTA

PTA Meeting

The PTA would like to warmly welcome all parents to a meeting taking place on Wednesday 8th March 6:00-7:00pm, here at school. We would love for anybody interested in supporting the PTA to come along. The main focus of the meeting will be discussing potential plans for a Summer Fete at the end of the school year, held at school.

We are a friendly team who would love to get together with other parents to discuss fundraising ideas. You are in no way obligated to assist in the running of any event.Elvington PTA

Big Walk and Wheel

We’re taking part in Sustrans Big Pedal event 2023, the UK’s largest inter-school cycling, walking, wheeling and scooting challenge. The challenge runs from 20th to 31st March 2023, it’s free and we would love everyone to be involved. We would like to encourage your child(ren) to take active journeys to school on as many days as possible during the event, and join them on their way. You can scooter, cycle or walk. If you have to travel by car because of where you live, you could always park a short distance away from school to still take part. Or your child can walk several laps of the playground as they enter the school grounds. Walk to School Week is a great way to get children active, which is important for physical health and mental wellbeing. Active school runs also help to reduce congestion and air pollution outside the school gate. THANK YOU
